Results for: Discrepant

Answer "Discrepant behavior" Discrepant means "not compatible with the usual" or not in harmony", thus this might mean the behavior is not usual for that person..….it's out of the ordinary, or the behavior does not match the words of the person. One example is a person says one thing, but does another... Or... their emotions don't match their facial expression... Or..a person who just smashed their finger with a hammer and breaks it would normally act in pain. Discrepant behavior would be if that person just looked at their smashed and bleeding finger and laughed and acted as if nothing had happened. (MORE)

Another Answer from our community: There are possibly hundreds of things that some would regard as discrepancies in the Bible. It would not be proper to call a single … one of them an error or a contradiction since they all have satisfactory explanations when examined fairly. For example the different Gospel writers, due to the various audeinces for which they were writing used different ways to tell the time. Both are correct within their frame of reference. Specific details are included in some Gospels but not mentioned in others -this is a notable difference which some would call a discrepancy, but definitely not an error. Such things actually add to the believability of the record given to us since their is no collusion -although they are all agreed on the key points. Another Answer The Bible contains so many errors, historical inaccuracies and discrepancies that it is not possible even just to list them in a short answer. Ignoring its errors and historical inaccuracies, it may be possible to describe just three of its internal discrepancies, which should be sufficient to demonstrate that the Bible is not divinely inspired. Creation There are two creation stories in Genesis, the first in verses 1:1-2:4a, the second begins in Genesis 2:4b (the second sentence in 2:4). Without going into detail around all the contradictions, it is readily apparent that in Genesis 1:27, God made man and woman after he had created all the animals, but in the second account, he created a man (Adam), then the animals then finally a woman (Eve). Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories in Genesis and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman). The empty tomb of Jesus Each of the four gospels has an entirely different account of how many women went to the tomb of Jesus and just what happened when they found it empty. However many women went to the tomb early on Sunday morning, and for whatever purpose, there can at best be only one true account of their (her) experience. Christian salvation On the one hand, Paul's epistles and Ephesians consistently say that salvation is by faith alone:- Romans 3:28: "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Romans 5:1-2: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Galatians 3:2: "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. " Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." On the other hand, the Epistle of James says that salvation is by faith and works, not just one alone: James 2:14: "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?" James 2:17: " Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." James 2:20: "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? " James 2:26: "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." For almost two thousand years, an army of Jewish and Christian scribes have laboured over explanations for the many discrepancies in the Bible, all to no avail. Their ideas may convince those most willing to be convinced, but fail to survive critical scrutiny. (MORE)
